Dino Crisis Returns: A Blast from the Past with a Pinch of DRM

Time to Rumble with Dinosaurs!

Hey there, retro gamers! Dust off your controllers because the classic horror action titles, Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, are back in town! That’s right, the milestones of the 90s have hit Steam with a half-price tag. But wait, what’s this? They’re wrapped up in some quirky Enigma DRM. 🙃

What’s the Deal with Enigma DRM?

So, if you’re wondering what Enigma DRM is, imagine it as that overly protective friend who peeks over your shoulder when you’re trying to enjoy a movie night. This DRM rears its head with messages like “Chack Registry” (yes, that’s a typo and no, nobody knows why) before letting you dive into the dino action. Not the smoothest welcome, right?

Now, for our GOG users out there, you might be familiar with this whole situation because these titles were already resurrected on that platform last year. The Steam versions have GOG as a co-developer, so you can bet they are nearly identical—minus the pesky DRM that’s causing a bit of a kerfuffle. Just check the Steam forums, and you’ll find gamers throwing virtual tantrums about it (and lamenting the absence of achievements).

Capcom seems to be cozying up to this DRM scene lately, especially since the whole modding fiasco went down. But let’s be real, the modding scene for Dino Crisis never really took off like a T-rex on a sugar rush. However, there’s a fun Classic REbirth mod floating around for the early Resident Evil games that throws in some love for our dino pals. So if you want to spice it up a bit, check that out!

But hey, if you’re just looking to add these Jurassic gems to your Steam library for those nostalgic feels, you can snag Dino Crisis for just $5 and Dino Crisis 2 for the same price. It’s like a time capsule for your gaming collection, and trust me, you don’t want to forget these dino delights!
